I’m not going to be doing an April Fool’s post here at OMG Blog, partially because I can never remember what date it is and partially because I’m an April Fool’s Grinch. But I will gleefully point out the mayhem taking place on the rest of the internet! For instance: Blind Gossip posted an item this morning which obviously implied an insane love game in which Brad Pitt was gay cheating on Angelina Jolie with George Clooney while Angie, in retaliation, was gay cheating with none other than woman scorned Jenny Aniston herself! Yes, it’s confusing just to think about. Probably because it’s not true!
It does have a few things going for it: although Brad’s boner for George is a matter of constant speculation– and although Angelina has been known to get lickly— we all know that if Jenny ever runs into Angelina on the street she’ll be too busy stubbing her Merits out in A-Jo’s eyeballs to lick her cooch.
But despite the fact that the item is a transparent April Fool’s joke, several websites have already gotten snared by the gag, reposting it as if it was for real. This is how rumors start, guys!
Oh, also, I’m pretty sure that Ricky Martin has not reneged on his gaiety so you can stop e-mailing me about it. (Though, as always, I appreciate your tips.)
Happy April Fool’s day, I guess. Stay vigilant! If I were you I might just stay off the internet entirely.

In rural Colombia, a bunch of small children fly to school by ziplines 1,300 feet off the ground. Little Daisy Mora– 9 years old and pictured above– carries her little brother in a cloth sack as she zooms across a giant ravine on her way to class.
Meanwhile, back in the USA, you can get arrested for letting your children go to the mall by themselves.)

Courtney Love can always be counted on for an entertaining ramble! Here she talks about her makeup, her “sick” vintage dealer, making ruffles out of Kurt’s old shirts, and offers her help to Ke$ha.
Of course, the most interesting part of the whole thing is the fact that the folks at Nylon TV have chosen to use the song Baseball Bat in the background. Students of 90’s indie/ladymusic effluvia will instantly recognize Baseball Bat as the work of Courtney Love the band— a band that Courtney Love the person (real name: Courtney Michelle Harrison) was never in. Did Nylon just get confused or are they purposely trying to piss Courtney off? If it’s the latter, they’re some brave f*ckers over there. Considering the fact that she’s scarier than Charles Manson and has more black magic at her command than Stevie Nicks, I personally would try to stay on her good side.

Happy Birthday to Joann Bruso’s Happy Meal! The concerned mommyblogger bought it a year ago and has since been keeping it on her shelf for observation. Guess what happened? It remained exactly the same!

NOPE, no worries at all. My Happy Meal is one year old today and it looks pretty good. It NEVER smelled bad. The food did NOT decompose. It did NOT get moldy, at all.

This morning, I took it off my shelf to take a birthday photo. The first year is always a milestone. I gave it one of my world famous nonna hugs as we’ve been office mates for a year now! (Okay, maybe my sanity is in question.)

Ms. Bruso continues to talk about her miracle Happy Meal like its lack of decomposition is a bad thing but come on! Food that stands the test of time pretty great to me. In fact, I’d love nothing better than to chew on a delicious piece of salted vinyl or neoprene this minute.

Real life superheroes might not have much in the way of powers, but they sure make up for it with an excess of tights! Find out if your town is patrolled by a hero of its very own at the World Superhero Registry, where costumed crimefighters such as Queen of Hearts– pictured above– make their presence known to the world!
